Dear City of Praise Family, Why do you call me, Lord, Lord, and do not do what I say? As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete (Luke 6:46-49 NIV). There are those who come to church every Sunday, listen to sermon after sermon, even work diligently in various ministries, but still have not truly opened their hearts to a loving God. They can quote scriptures verbatim, but do not apply it to their everyday lives. They are disobedient and carnal, sounding religious and saying all the right things, but have no personal relationship with Him and no faith in His Word. They have no foundation, and like a house built without a foundation, when the grounds move beneath them, or when the winds of trouble come, they will fall. God is more concerned about your walk than your talk. He wants your trust, your mind, your heart, and your total obedience. Only then can He be the Lord of your life, the Foundation on which you can stand, and your Protection, no matter what life brings your way. God bless you, Bishop Joel and Pastor Ylawnda Peebles LION S ROAR STAFF Bishop Joel Peebles & Pastor Ylawnda Peebles, Diane George, Evan George, Paulette Shelton, Raymond Morse and Eddie Paylor Lion s Roar
Expect Miracles By: Bishop Joel Peebles For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11 NIV). God has a plan for each and every one of us. He knew us before we were formed in our mother s womb, and His plan for us, the purpose that He assigned to us, the reason He brought us to this earth realm in this human body was formulated from the foundation of time. With more than 7 billion people presently living on this earth, it sounds incomprehensible. But that is the God that we serve. He knows each of us personally and loves us individually. And because of His love for you, He wants a relationship with you that will transform your life. He wants you to seek him sincerely, and this transformation will make you ready to receive all of the blessings that He has in store for you. Allow Him to make the necessary changes in your heart and mind so that you learn to love and trust Him, live in Him and for Him. Ask Him for knowledge, patience, wisdom and understanding. And believe that He will always be there for you, never to leave you nor forsake you. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him (Hebrews 11:6). For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end (Jeremiah 29:11 KJV) God wants you stirred up to walk in your purpose, to use the gifts and talents that He has given you, to receive the desires that He has put in your heart. But the message says that He will give you an expected end. That means you must walk in faith, expecting the very best from Him. This does not mean that you will be spared pain, suffering or hardships in your life, but He promises, if you trust Him to do so, if you EXPECT Him to do so, He will bring you out with a glorious end. And He will perform miracles to place your feet on the solid ground where you belong. He will do what He must, even astounding the most educated and learned people, to show that He is God and that you belong to Him. You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples (Psalm 77:14). He told this Branch of Zion that this is the year of Radical Results. Radical means outstanding, very new and different from what is traditional or ordinary, according to Webster. That means get ready to see something that you have never seen before! Get ready to be blessed beyond measure! Expect God to perform the miraculous in your life, and it will come to pass. Lion s Roar 1
